Yogalates For Weight Loss

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Yoga
from: Momentum Pictures

December 26, 2006
This is my second Yogalates dvd and it is definitely completely different from the other one I have (ultimate Yogalates) but I enjoy it just as much!

I love Louise's voice and find it relaxing. I also love the fact it has the added little 10 minutes Abs section for when you want to do a little bit more after your work out. (but make sure you stretch out after cus otherwise you are going to feel it the next day!!!)

The thing about Yogalates is that you can make it as hard as you want to make it by how deeply you breathe, if you are really breathing deep you can really feel it in your stomach. At first the first work out seemed easy to me until i started to breathe deeper in this section and then you can really feel ... Read More:

Pregnancy Health Yoga with Tara Lee

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Yoga
directed by: Mary Attwood

January 14, 2008
Tara Lee has created a DVD that is for everyone. Being a prenatal yoga teacher myself, it is obvious that she is a very well trained teacher. What strikes me most is how loving and nurturing her DVD is for pregnant women, which is so important during these busy lives we lead. As I am on my second pregnancy its hard to get to a class, however Tara Lee's DVD keeps me fit, healthy, prepares my body for the birth and most importantly helps me bond with my baby. Tara's grace and loving energy keeps you calm and centered. The breathing and the relaxation are fantastic, a must for everyone on the rollercoaster ride of pregnancy and motherhood. You will not regret buying this DVD and it will be one that you will keep to remind you of those special moments ... Read More:

Yogalates - Firm, Fit And Flexible

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Yoga
by: Solomon Yogalates

December 26, 2005
I've never tried yoga but have dabbled with pilates. I found this dvd quite strenuous but the instructor was very informative, giving tips such as "if this is hurting then you're probably doing this" and she was right. It's a bit tricky without a mirror as you're not sure if you're horizontal etc but some of the moves for more advanced people I had to laugh at but will persevere to hopefully.

Definitely worth buying if you fancy a workout that doesn't involve jogging!!

Leah Bracknell - Yoga And You

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Yoga
starring: Leah Bracknell

December 29, 2003
This dvd contains a very gentle routine, that is best suited to absolute beginners who have never practised yoga.

The music and settings are good. The mix of postures is good. Leah's voice is clear, soft and gentle; very nice to listen to.

The instructions are also good, Leah always makes it clear when you should breath in and out, which is really important in a yoga workout.

On the down side, I find the pace is a bit quick at times. The relaxation is also not good, as it is a very short section and Leah talks all the time, which doesn't really give you time and space to do what she is telling you to do.

Also, if you aren't new to yoga, then this workout is simply too gentle and not challenging enough.

Yogalates Energizer

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Yoga
starring: Louise Solomon

December 20, 2004
Fantastic program of yogalates which I have used several times a week for the last 6 months. If you're looking to lose weight it's great to combine with a more strenuous exercise dvd to improve tone and flexibility as your weight decreases. Unfortunately my band did snap as it's not as strong as other pilates bands but I bought 3 different strength bands and have worked up to the hardest one so you can make the workout as difficult as you like. Would recommend buying alongside other workouts as it's hard not to get bored when you know the words inside out!

Power Yoga Total Body [2005]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Yoga
starring: Rodney Yee

September 26, 2005
After my local Ashtanga yoga class was cancelled I bought this dvd hoping it would allow me to continue this style of yoga I love so much. I wasn't disappointed! At first it was a real challenge with positions such as Warrior 1, half moon pose and quite lenghty upward bow positions. I was amazed at how quickly I have become comfortable at all the asanas and even more impressed my how much of a total body workout it is - my figure looks and feels better than ever. The work out takes about an hour and has a good relaxation section at the end. What i love the most however not not having to watch the screen at all once you are familiar with the positions as Rodney Yee talks you through everything very well. This allows you to really focus on your body and breathing. Definitely ... Read More:

BuddhaBellies - Yoga for Pregnancy DVD

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Yoga
starring: Nicole Croft
directed by: Rory Hinds

August 15, 2007
I started to use this DVD after 3 months of pregnancy based on the reviews on Amazon. I started off with the full session and have dropped back to the intermediate section in the DVD now that I am over 6 months pregnant. I agree with other reviewers that the DVD gives you a choice of programmes to follow depending on which stage of pregnancy you are at and also your comfort level. This also ensures that the routines don't get monotonous as you can pick and choose the programme you want to do on a particular day. I did buy another DVD but this is the one that I have stuck to and will carry on following until the end of my pregnancy. I find that I am rested and invigorated at the same time afterwards. I did find the tone of voice which accompanies the exercises quite dull to start with ... Read More:

10 Minute Solution Yoga

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Yoga
from: Starz Home Entertainment

January 15, 2007
The exercises in this video are made too fast for yoga beginners. I would not recommend it for Yoga beginners. In fact, only the last part, the stretching and relaxation part, is suitable for yoga beginners. Sorry but I have seen better.
